Re: Interior Roof Fabric Sagging Need Fix Plz

When mine sagged I took it out of car
removed headliner
used brush to get old debris off
went to Joann fabrics and got some great looking microfiber material for $15
got the 3M adhesive $10
sprayed adhesive on the headliner foam and microfiber (slowly as once it sticks it is there for good)

it has been up for over 1yr.
I live in florida so the heat and humidity has not affected it at all.

I will be using the same material on pillars and rebuilding seats with it.

Hope this helps

Re: Interior Roof Fabric Sagging Need Fix Plz

Just got home from the store with all the materials. Will be tackling mine tomorrow.


As for the question of how to remove the whole head liner,

remove the three screws in each sunvisor.
remove the dome light fixture.
remove the two sail panels in the back seat where the rear stereo speakers are.
take the plastic trim piece off along the top of the rear hatch.
There is a plastic guide piece where the seatbelts go in to the headliner, remove them carefully. they just snap in there.
then carefully, oh so very carefully remove the entire interior top of the car. Carefully cause its just paper molded to shape. try not to break it.

Mine is a T top so I pulled the tops out to make it easier to remove, Don't know how much of a PITA it might be with a solid roof.
After you get it out just pull the existing fabric off of it and put some new stuff on it using 3M77 or similar and reinstall in car.
